Creamy Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Recipe

Click for printer-friendly version!Souper! I have always loved Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Of course, like most Americans, I grew up eating the stuff of Warhol paintings. There is still a special place in my heart for the red and white can, not to mention it’s perfect earthquake emergency kit material. Preparing your own Tomato Soup isn’t difficult and it’s lower in sodium. Puree all the veggies you want into the soup and no one will be the wiser. The bread and cheese combinations for Grilled Cheese are endless. Have fun with it!

Ingredients for the Grilled Cheese Sandwich: 2 slices (per sandwich) bread of your choice 1/2 – 3/4 cup (per sandwich) shredded cheeses (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Pecorino Romano and Parmesan) olive oil heavy skillet to set on top of sandwich, on top of grill (If you don’t have a grill or grill pan, use 2 skillets.)

NOTES: Makes about 5 cups soup. For added spice, try 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or maybe some Sriracha. If your tomatoes are tart, add about a teaspoon of sugar. A finishing drizzle of basil oil is a nice way to elevate the tomato soup; artisan bread and gourmet cheeses also “grow up” this childhood favorite.

DIRECTIONS FOR THE GRILLED CHEESE: 1) Brush bread slices with olive oil. 2) Top with shredded cheeses and place on a medium-high grill. 3) Place a heavy skillet or saucepan on top of sandwich. 4) Rotate sandwich on grill for prettiest grill-marks. 5) Grill until golden and crisp and the cheese is melted inside. 6) Serve with Tomato Soup. Share and enjoy.

Betty, I need some advice! I got a watermelon for some odd reason from a friend, so I cut it up into chunks, and now I don’t know what to do with it, I’m getting a bit bored eating it plain, since I have like 2 gallons of it. SO what are some simple things I can do with it? I had no idea, I’ve tried google, no avail.
